“…In our study, the overall prevalence of endoparasites in goats from four farms was 100% and might represent a factor that affects body condition score. Although in our study we did not find that BCS and endoparasites correlated, according to many authors (28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33), endoparasites cause several subclinical effects such as hyperproteinemia, growth depression, reduction in milk yield, loss of appetite, and digestive inefficiency. Parasite infection negatively affects hosts by consuming host resources and directly damaging host tissues or indirectly by stimulating costly immune responses and by changing host movement, foraging, or social behaviors (34)(35)(36).…”

Welfare of Native Goat Breeds in Serbia—Emphasis on Parasitological Infections

et al. 2021

Native goat breeds in Serbia has been recognized as an important element of regional agrobiodiversity and play an important role in the safeguarding of cultural and traditional heritage. The aim of this study was to identify the main welfare issues likely to be encountered in extensive goat farming systems with an emphasis on parasitological infections. The study was conducted during the winter season on four small farms of native Balkan and Serbian white goats. For welfare assessment, animal-based indicators from AWIN protocol for goats were used. All fecal samples for parasites were qualitatively and quantitatively examined. The main welfare issues identified were poor hair coat condition (62.79%), dirty and light soiling hindquarters (31.40%), thin body condition score (26.74%), abscesses (19.78%), and udder asymmetry (18.60%). In addition, an important and prevalent welfare problem identified across all farms was parasite infection and weak significant (p < 0.001) correlation between certain parasites (Strongylidae, Moniezia spp., Buxtonella sulcate, and Protostrongylidae) and welfare indicators such as poor hair coat condition and nasal discharge. The results of this study provided the first overview and valuable insight into the impact of extensive systems on the welfare of native goats in the Balcan region.

“…ini berbahaya bagi perkembangan tubuh ternak dalam jangka waktu yang lama dan dapat berdampak pada penurunan bobot badan. Hal ini sesuai dengan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Thlama et al (2016) bahwa infestasi protozoa secara signifikan mempengaruhi skor kondisi tubuh pada kambing. Selain kondisi fisik yang terlihat, umur mempengaruhi tingkat infestasi pada kambing.…”

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh umur terhadap infestasi parasit saluran pencernaan dan bobot tubuh kambing Saburai di Kelompok Tani Makmur II dan Mutiara Tani di Kecamatan Gisting. Materi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kambing Saburai sebanyak 106 ekor yang diambil sampel feses dan dianalisis di Balai Veteriner Lampung serta dilakukannya penimbangan bobot tubuh. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah survei. Variabel yang diamati adalah infestasi parasit saluran pencernaan yang dianalisis untuk mencari rata-rata tingkat infestasi dan bobot tubuh yang dianalisis menggunkan Anova dengan pola tersarang. Sebanyak 106 ekor sampel kambing Saburai dengan rincian 51 ekor berumur <1 tahun dengan rincian 1 ekor (1,96%) kambing tidak terinfestasi memiliki bobot tubuh 19 kg, positif Eimeria 44 ekor (86,27%) dengan rata-rata bobot tubuh 18,61 kg, serta positif Eimeria dan cacing saluran pencernaan sebanyak 6 ekor (11,76%) dengan rata-rata bobot tubuh 17,66 kg, kemudian sebanyak 55 ekor kambing berumur >1 tahun dengan data negatif parasit saluran pencernaan 5 ekor (9,09%) memiliki rata-rata bobot tubuh 59,70 kg, positif Eimeria 38 ekor (69,09%) dengan rata-rata bobot tubuh 53,76 kg, serta positif Eimeria dan cacing saluran pencernaan sebanyak 12 ekor (21,82%) dengan rata-rata bobot tubuh 52,41 kg. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan umur berpengaruh sangat nyata P≤0,01 terhadap bobot tubuh

“…Belo Sub Division expereinces about eight months of rainy season from mid March to mid November and about four months of dry season from mid November to mid March. Since the study was conducted from July to October towards the end of the rainy season, higher parasitic infections might be related to the availability of browse and a longer browsing time in the warm-rainy season by the host, sufficient moisture and optimum temperature.These create favorable conditions allowing for the larval development, oocyst sporulation and survival of the infective larvae stage [23]. The high prevalence in this study could also be attributed to illiteracy on the side of the goat keepers and their ignorance or avoidance tendency of preventive measures [24].…”

“…For example, effective pasture management, applied knowledge about host-parasite interactions and interrelations building the base for low pasture infection rates for grazing animals,stocking rate reduction and regular intensive monitoring of animal condition that can help optimize animal health status and anthelmintic treatments [25]. The overall higher prevalence of GI parasitic infections in this study area could also be attributed to lower immunity of hosts as a result of malnutrition [23,24]. Among other factors that may have further contributed to these discrepancies observed are host breeds and different husbandry practices.…”

Aims:The study aims to investigate the prevalence and intensity of gastrointestinal (GI) parasitic infections in goats. Study Design: A study was conducted in Belo Sub Division from July 2016 to October 2016. A total of 499 faecal samples were randomly collected directly from the recta of 499 goats in six villages and analyzed for the detection of any parasitic ova or oocysts using standard saturated sodium chloride flotation technique, while faecal egg/oocyst count was estimated using the modified McMaster technique. Results:The study found that all 499 goats with a mean EPG value of 494,3 ± 374,8) were found to harbor at least two gastrointestinal parasites. The prevalence and intensity of various parasites
